Favorite Finds: Fall {Coffee Light Frapp}

Heyyyo! Yesterday I had a meeting with a local principal to discuss my teaching goals – he provided me with great advice and I left feeling confident about the direction that I’m headed… It makes me so excited to see my plans come to fruition!

After the meeting I swung by Starbucks and ordered a coffee light frappuccino. Did you know that you can avoid the artificial flavors and sweeteners by requesting no frapp base and adding a banana?! You can taste the banana, but it reminds me of a chocolate banana milkshake which definitely isn’t a bad thing. Thanks for the tip Brittany!

Once I got home I bundled up for my first cold run of the season (it was in the low 40’s!) and my second 5K of the week. I know that I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve hardly run since the spring so it feels awesome to get my groove back. My pace is without a doubt slower than it was in the spring, but I’m not worried about it. Time is just a number. The feelings that I have while running are so much more than just a number.

Whatcha Think?

Huh, I didn’t know that, but know I do! Whoever figured out that banana trick is a genius, I can’t wait to try it. I usually stick to iced coffee or iced tea, but sometimes go for a frap when I want to treat myself Congrats on getting back into the groove of running! I have a 10K next week too that I am looking forward to!

Ok! So if you order it with no base and you ask them to throw in a banana, do they charge you for the banana? Or do they call it even? Would I be a total freak if I brought my own banana?
Thanks for drooling over my Caramel Apples! I wish I had more of them right now!!

Trackbacks

[…] My belly is full (of coffee + pancakes) and I think I’m ready to run…?! It’s definitely different eating pancakes on race morning, but today’s race is less than 100 yards from our front door and doesn’t start until 9 a.m. It’s the same 5K route that I ran twice this week. […]
